Long and Lean (Still)


We went to the Dr. today and she's 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs) and about 87cm (34 inches). We could not get an accurate length measurement because she was too squirmy. Weight is about 90th percentile and height is about 99th percentile. Dan always laughs because that means she's "technically" skinny. I asked the Dr. if I should move toward lower fat but he said no and if she wants cheese melted on veggies and meat in order to eat it, then let her have it that way. I was complaining about her pickiness. She and I both got flu shots and she also got an MMR booster.

In the afternoon, we went to Discovery Bay to play on the beach with her friends. I'm using the zoom lens on my camera in the photo above, which I never have to do because she's usually stuck to my leg. You can kind of see the red roof of the Disneyland Hotel in the background. But, she had a blast. She ran all over the place in the sand and didn't at all care where I was. She also ate a fistful of sand, washed it ALL down with water from her sippy (I was frantically trying to get a cloth to scoop it out with) and never thought twice about it. We definitely need to do this more often. The only thing is that she pitched a fit when it was time to go because she, though exhausted and filthy, was not ready.
